| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a stylized dragon depicted in a coiled or knotted posture, its body intertwined upon itself and oriented to the left, rendered in a naive yet expressive folk art style characteristic of Tenasserim emergency coinage. The creature's limbs, tail, and head are distinguishable amid the compact composition, with linear incised detailing across the body. The design is contained within a plain inner circle, itself enclosed by a prominent raised beaded border that runs the full circumference of the flan. |
